Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

SkillSpector: 3 findings, up to high
These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

What it costs to keep this loaded
Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00025 | $0.02590 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00013 | $0.01295 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00005 | $0.00518 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00259 |
Grade B, and why
ta-lib scanned grade B with 2 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 11d ago.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.
Asks for rootmediumPrivilege escalation
A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.

ta-lib — C-Optimized Technical Analysis
TA-Lib (Technical Analysis Library) is a C library with a Python wrapper providing 150+ technical analysis functions and 61 candlestick pattern recognition functions. It is the industry standard for performance-critical indicator computation, used in production trading systems where pandas-ta or pure-Python alternatives are too slow.
What TA-Lib Is
TA-Lib was originally written in C for financial market data analysis. The Python wrapper (TA-Lib on PyPI, imported as talib) provides:
- 150+ indicator functions across overlap, momentum, volume, volatility, cycle, and math categories
- 61 candlestick pattern recognition functions — the most comprehensive pattern library available
- C-speed computation — 10-100x faster than pure-Python equivalents on large datasets
- Two APIs: a function API (pass arrays directly) and an abstract API (pass dict of arrays)
- NumPy native — all inputs and outputs are NumPy arrays
Installation
TA-Lib requires the underlying C library to be installed first:
# macOS
brew install ta-lib
uv pip install TA-Lib numpy pandas
# Ubuntu/Debian
sudo apt-get install -y ta-lib
uv pip install TA-Lib numpy pandas
# From source (any platform)
wget https://github.com/ta-lib/ta-lib/releases/download/v0.6.4/ta-lib-0.6.4-src.tar.gz
tar -xzf ta-lib-0.6.4-src.tar.gz
cd ta-lib-0.6.4
./configure --prefix=/usr/local
make && sudo make install
uv pip install TA-Lib numpy pandas
If the C library is not installed, import talib will fail with an ImportError. The scripts in this skill include fallback logic for environments without TA-Lib installed.
When to Use TA-Lib vs pandas-ta
| Criterion | TA-Lib | pandas-ta |
|---|---|---|
| Speed | C-optimized, 10-100x faster | Pure Python, slower on large data |
| Candlestick patterns | 61 built-in patterns | Limited pattern support |
| Installation | Requires C library | pip install only |
| API style | NumPy arrays | DataFrame .ta accessor |
| Indicator count | 150+ | 130+ |
| Streaming | Single-value update possible | Recompute entire series |
| Dependencies | C lib + numpy | pandas only |
What ships with it
4 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
What this file has done since we first saw it
Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
- 11d ago First seen · 291 lines · 25 tokens per session scan B 892d79f2e468
ta-lib is a skill published in the GitHub repository agiprolabs/claude-trading-skills (354 stars, last pushed 8d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 25 tokens to every session and 2,590 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 2 findings (asks for root, makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
